3 .TH BZMORE 1
4 .SH NAME
5 bzmore, bzless \- file perusal filter for crt viewing of bzip2 compressed text
6 .SH SYNOPSIS
7 .B bzmore
8 [ name ... ]
9 .br
10 .B bzless
11 [ name ... ]
12 .SH NOTE
13 In the following description,
14 .I bzless
15 and
16 .I less
17 can be used interchangeably with
18 .I bzmore
19 and
20 .I more.
21 .SH DESCRIPTION
22 .I Bzmore
23 is a filter which allows examination of compressed or plain text files
24 one screenful at a time on a soft-copy terminal.
25 .I bzmore
26 works on files compressed with
27 .I bzip2
28 and also on uncompressed files.
29 If a file does not exist,
30 .I bzmore
31 looks for a file of the same name with the addition of a .bz2 suffix.
32 .PP
33 .I Bzmore
34 normally pauses after each screenful, printing --More--
35 at the bottom of the screen.
36 If the user then types a carriage return, one more line is displayed.
37 If the user hits a space,
38 another screenful is displayed. Other possibilities are enumerated later.
39 .PP
40 .I Bzmore
41 looks in the file
42 .I /etc/termcap
43 to determine terminal characteristics,
44 and to determine the default window size.
45 On a terminal capable of displaying 24 lines,
46 the default window size is 22 lines.
47 Other sequences which may be typed when
48 .I bzmore
49 pauses, and their effects, are as follows (\fIi\fP is an optional integer
50 argument, defaulting to 1) :
51 .PP
52 .IP \fIi\|\fP<space>
53 display
54 .I i
55 more lines, (or another screenful if no argument is given)
56 .PP
57 .IP ^D
58 display 11 more lines (a ``scroll'').
59 If
60 .I i
61 is given, then the scroll size is set to \fIi\|\fP.
62 .PP
63 .IP d
64 same as ^D (control-D)
65 .PP
66 .IP \fIi\|\fPz
67 same as typing a space except that \fIi\|\fP, if present, becomes the new
68 window size. Note that the window size reverts back to the default at the
69 end of the current file.
70 .PP
71 .IP \fIi\|\fPs
72 skip \fIi\|\fP lines and print a screenful of lines
73 .PP
74 .IP \fIi\|\fPf
75 skip \fIi\fP screenfuls and print a screenful of lines
76 .PP
77 .IP "q or Q"
78 quit reading the current file; go on to the next (if any)
79 .PP
80 .IP "e or q"
81 When the prompt --More--(Next file:
82 .IR file )
83 is printed, this command causes bzmore to exit.
84 .PP
85 .IP s
86 When the prompt --More--(Next file:
87 .IR file )
88 is printed, this command causes bzmore to skip the next file and continue.
89 .PP
90 .IP =
91 Display the current line number.
92 .PP
93 .IP \fIi\|\fP/expr
94 search for the \fIi\|\fP-th occurrence of the regular expression \fIexpr.\fP
95 If the pattern is not found,
96 .I bzmore
97 goes on to the next file (if any).
98 Otherwise, a screenful is displayed, starting two lines before the place
99 where the expression was found.
100 The user's erase and kill characters may be used to edit the regular
101 expression.
102 Erasing back past the first column cancels the search command.
103 .PP
104 .IP \fIi\|\fPn
105 search for the \fIi\|\fP-th occurrence of the last regular expression entered.
106 .PP
107 .IP !command
108 invoke a shell with \fIcommand\|\fP.
109 The character `!' in "command" are replaced with the
110 previous shell command. The sequence "\\!" is replaced by "!".
111 .PP
112 .IP ":q or :Q"
113 quit reading the current file; go on to the next (if any)
114 (same as q or Q).
115 .PP
116 .IP .
117 (dot) repeat the previous command.
118 .PP
119 The commands take effect immediately, i.e., it is not necessary to
120 type a carriage return.
121 Up to the time when the command character itself is given,
122 the user may hit the line kill character to cancel the numerical
123 argument being formed.
124 In addition, the user may hit the erase character to redisplay the
125 --More-- message.
126 .PP
127 At any time when output is being sent to the terminal, the user can
128 hit the quit key (normally control\-\\).
129 .I Bzmore
130 will stop sending output, and will display the usual --More--
131 prompt.
132 The user may then enter one of the above commands in the normal manner.
133 Unfortunately, some output is lost when this is done, due to the
134 fact that any characters waiting in the terminal's output queue
135 are flushed when the quit signal occurs.
136 .PP
137 The terminal is set to
138 .I noecho
139 mode by this program so that the output can be continuous.
140 What you type will thus not show on your terminal, except for the / and !
141 commands.
142 .PP
143 If the standard output is not a teletype, then
144 .I bzmore
145 acts just like
146 .I bzcat,
147 except that a header is printed before each file.
